Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
378
Step-by-step explanation:
9*6=54 then 54/2=27. fnally 27*14=378
You would want to subtract 18 from 45. Your answer would be y=27.
Did somebody say you're supposed to draw the graph of the equation ?
Is that the assignment ?
OK. Just like every other equation you need to graph, get it in the
standard form, where 'y' is all alone on one side, and everything else
is on the other side. When you do that, you'll be able to spot the slope
and y-intercept of the line, or get some points, or whatever you want.
4y + 12 = 0
Subtract 12 from each side: 4y = -12
Divide each side by 4: y = -3
There's the equation you can handle.
The y-intercept is -3, and the slope is zero.
Would you like some points ? OK. Pick a couple of values for 'x',
and calculate the value of 'y' for each one:
The first value I picked for 'x': x = 72
The equation is y=-3, so when x=72, y=-3. The point is (72, -3)
The second value I picked for 'x' is: x = 1
The equation is y=-3, so when x=1, y=-3. The second point is (1, -3).
The third value I picked for 'x' is 4 billion.
The equation is y=-3, so when x=4 billion, y=-3. The third point is (1, -3).
Do you see what's going on here ? Your original equation didn't even
have 'x' in it, so we could tell right away that when the graph is drawn,
the value of 'y' at every point can't depend on 'x'.
When we simplified the equation and got it in standard form, we found that
the slope of the graph is zero. That means the graph doesn't rise or fall ...
it's just a horizontal line. Sure enough, the height of points on the line
doesn't depend on 'x'. The value of 'y' at every point on the line is -3 .
Since ur using r as a variable the answer is r = 7.
